Yes, please do a writeup. I found a pair of calipers on ebay today and was wanting to do this conversion. My lude needs better brakes.
Did you notice it a whole lot?
Also, what's the difference between the VTEC rotors and the regular Si rotors?

91-96 NSX front calipers bolt right up to the prelude bracket. Brake lines fit perfect too.
you need to use the prelude vtec rotors because its bolt pattern is the same as si prelude and is the same diameter as the 91-96 NSX rotor. 11.2" NSX & vtec prelude, 10.2" prelude SI, The vtec prelude rotor is about 5mm thinner than the NSX rotor. I made a brake pad metal spacer to compensate the difference. This will prevent piston in caliper from pushing out too far.
you can also just redrill holes on 91-96 NSX rotors to fit the prelude.
swap was really easy. getting the metal 5mm spacers made was the hardest. Took about a week to make
the NSX calipers stops much better, especially since my prelude is turboed.
